Sew Mama Sew Give-away

It's giveaway week at Sew Mama Sew blog. Blog giveaways are great fun. It's a quick and fast way to meet new bloggers and discover new blogs. If this is your first visit to my blog, WELCOME! I've been on a bit of a blog holiday and hope to quickly get back to regular blogging. Dear hubby and I have recently moved to the northeast corner of the state of Georgia. We have a new Hometown. We are exploring the area, taking in new events, and meeting new folks. To celebrate our new Hometown, my giveaway includes two charm packs of HOMETOWN by Sweetwater for Moda.

Charm packs lend themselves to lots of projects. One of my favorite projects for charm pack is the Schnibbles patterns by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. This weekend has been cold and rainy. The Schnibble pattern Winter White seemed the perfect pattern for Hometown and the weather in my new hometown.

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment telling me the name of your hometown and something about it. For a second chance, leave an additional comment about your favorite Christmas movie. Giveaway will end on Friday, December 13th. The winner will be notified by email on Saturday , December 14th. International entries are welcome.

Visit the giveaway page at Sew Mama Sew. There are two categories of giveaways, supplies and handmade items. Good luck and enjoy visiting the many, many blogs!

I'm guessing by hometown you mean where I'm living (over here it means more where you are from originally). Where I'm living is a city called Biel/Bienne. It has the double name as it's a bilingual city, one of only two officially billingual cities in Switzerland.

My hometown is Friendsville - a tiny town in western Maryland. Population is probably less than 500. It's main claim to fame is the whitewater kayaking that takes place on the Youghiogheny River that flows through the town. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the chance! My hometown is St. Cloud, MN. Hmmm. There's a university there (St. Cloud State University) and Richard Dean Anderson (I think that's his name?) dropped out of school after one semester and became MacGuyver! I'd say he did alright!

My favorite Christmas movie is a little known, made-for-tv movie called "The Christmas List". I'm still waiting for it to come out on dvd so I can stop watching my old VHS recording on the only remaining vcr in our house!

I live in Sweet Home, OR...the gateway to the Santiam playground. In other words, skiing (both water and snow), hiking, fishing, camping and home of the Oregon Jamboree...a 3 day country western outdoor music festival! It's a great place to be.

Whoops, didn't say something about my hometown. Hope this doesn't throw off your numbering -- maybe delete this after I fulfill my requirements. ;-) My town Franklin is crazy charming, but let me tell you about my hometown-hometown, Murfreesboro. It is the geographic center of Tennessee and the former home to the World's Largest Cedar Bucket, for years and years and years and years, until some teenagers burned it up.

My hometown is Manchester, Missouri. The main road for awhile was part of Route 66. The late 1800s building where my great grandparents and then grandparents operated a hotel is still standing. Too bad my dad and uncle sold it out of the family in the 1970s!

My hometown is Dix Hills, NY. It is in Suffolk County on Long Island. Beautiful countryside, very green, lots of woods. It was great to be a kid there way back when. My favorite Xmas movie is White Christmas. Always watch it...It's a great time of year!

My hometown is Beaumont, TX. It is home of Spindletop, the first major oil field and one of the largest in American history. It also used to have the world's largest fire hydrant, but now it is only third. :D

My hometown is Rocky Mount, NC. It is called the gateway to the South because it is the middle point of the East Coast. I am a huge fan of Sweetwater and Hometown is one of my favorite collections but sadly I don't have any. Thank you for sharing! anglanouette at gmail dot com

While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock is my favorite Christmas and all time favorite movie. Not sure if it is actually a Christmas movie but the story takes place at Christmas time and it is always shown on TV around Christmas. Thank you for sharing! anglanouette at gmail dot com

I was born in Thunder Bay, it was two cities, Port Aurthur and Fort William (historic site) and in 1967 it amalgamated into Thunder Bay named so because of the many thunder and lightning storms they have

I've lived many places, but can probably count my hometown as Smithers, British Columbia, where I lived from age 5 to age 14. Smithers is called A Town For All Seasons - it really is! We lived on a small acreage at the foot of one of the many mountains, on which in winter we went downhill skiing and other seasons hiked. I loved it!
